72 280se or 86 16v
I have both these cars in my garage. I am trying to decide which one I should sell. I've owned the 16v for 18 years and the 280 less than a year. both of the vehicles are in excellent condition. Comments

Yeah, it's as smooth as butter. I really think of that when I'm driving it. I love taking turns at intersections at 35-45 mph, it's really handling like a race car. However, both cars do get the attention and there's definitely more room in the 280 and the air cond is colder. Imagine that!

1972 280se 4.5. It has perfect interior. runs like a champ. It's a very nice car. I like all the chrome on it; just don't see that anymore.

I would keep the 72... maybe it's because I owned one for 12 years and miss it.
